Fake News & Misinformation: Shoreline News Resources

How do I get a free online subscription to New York Times website?

This is an alternative to using the library's databases!

2. Click News and History to jump to that section
3. Click on The New York Times database.
4. Click Create Account and enter your @go.Shoreline.edu email address

Tips to Remember

TIP: the NYT account is not linked to your college email account. Remember whatever password you use for NYT because it won’t be the same as your email account’s password when you need to change it.

TIP: You must click on the confirmation link in order to complete the process to set up your new NYT account. If you miss this final step, your account will not be created and you will not be able to access articles on NYTimes.com.

Who Qualifies for a Free Account 

• Students
• Faculty
• Staff
• Anybody with a valid Shoreline Community College email address 

Don't Pay to Access News Articles

You can access many newspaper articles through the library's databases for free. Here are some great ways to get newspaper articles that would normally require a subscription.

Have an Article in Mind? We Don't Have It?

We can get an article that you aren't seeing in the sources listed here! There's a service called interlibrary loan that let's us borrow it on your behalf and then lend it to you.
